| Insurance ratchets up the cost and interferes with delivery of health care while adding no benefit of any kind to doctor or patient. The notion that insurance companies manage utilization, and therefore control costs, is simply self-serving misinformation. The best, and only, place where a medical decision should be made is between doctor and patient. Medicare has managed to control over-utilization very well and significantly, they have done so at a fraction of the insurance industry cost. Therefore, any so-called health plan which includes insurance will change nothing. The cost will remain high, coverage will be uneven, and the only real benefit will accrue to the insurer's. |
